TYPE'WRITING MACHINE.

Application led March 2, 1923. Serial No. 622,285.

To all whom .it may concern: against rotation, so that, as in thelVernery Be it' known that I, JOHN WALDHEIM, a and Smith patent, thegrip of the platen on citizen of the United States, residing intheinterleaved portion of the carbon-sheet Elizabeth, in the county ofUnion and State will result in forward movement of the carof New Jersey,have invented certain new bon-carrier when the platen has line-space 60and useful Improvements in Typewriting movement, andl so that rearwardthrow of Machines, of which the following isa specithe carbon-carrierwill shift the interleaved fication. f portion of the carbon-sheetrearward along The invention relates to typewriting mathe web-plies.When such interleaved porchines.

r Rolls of carbon-paperhave'therefore been An object of the presentinvention is the J0 substituted on the carbon-carrier for therelprovision ofv means whereby the carbon- 105 atively short individual-sheets vpreviously rolls, with their attendant advantages, may

used. Rotarymovement of such a roll perbe retained, and the feed of theweb-plles mits the desired length of sheet to be unnevertheless effectedin such manner as not wound therefrom and linterleaved with .the torequire enlagement of the carbon-carrier, web-plies. The roll may` then.be locked or of the carbon-carrier-supportmg strucf1l ture, foraccomodation of the rolls, and as not to require passage of thewebqplies between the carbon-rolls.

In the invention, as embodied in the structure hereinafter described,the web-plies are fed laterally over the supporting structure, forwardof the runway thereon for the carbon-carrier, from containers disposedat the sides of the supporting structure; and the carbon-rolls are settransversely of the car.- bon-carrier within substantially the samespace occupied by the carbon-holding blades of the aforesaid Wernery andSmith structure.

An object of the invention is the provision of means for guiding theweb-plies crosswise of the supporting structure or rearward extension ofthe platen-carriage, from either or both sides thereof, forward of thecarbon-carrier, and for then turning the webs in the directionl of theplaten, in superposed relation to each other, and interleaved With thecarbon-sheets.

In this connection, the invention preferably involves a system ofweb-turning and spacing `bars set diagonally over the supportingstructure; the bars for handling the webs from one side of thesupporting structure being set crosswise and alternated with respect tothe bars for handling the webs from the other side of the supportingstructure.

A feature of the invention is a frame on which the work-web-holders, inthe form of spools, magazines or other suitable contain'- ers, may be`removably mounted; which frame may, itself, be removably attachable tothe support for the rearward extension of the platen-carriage, below theplatform of such support, with the web-holders arranged at either orboth sides thereof.

A feature of the invention isa simple and novel device, reliable inaction, for locking and unlocking the carbon-roll or rolls, and, wherethere is a plurality of such rolls, for

. simultaneously locking and unlocking all of carriage, a rearwar them.

Other features and advantages will hereinafter appear.

The platen 10, by means of its axle 11, is journaled in side plates 12of a platenframe, pivoted at 13 on the side plates 14 of theplaten-carriage, to swing up and down between its operative position anda carbon-releasing position. The side plates 12 of the` platen-framehave rearward extensions 15, which, when the platen is in operativeposition, rest upon a shaft or cross-tie 16 connecting the side plates11 of the carriage.' The shaft 16, therefore, supports and determinesthe operative position of the swinging platen-frame. It furthermore, arock-shaft which carries hooks 17 for locking the shiftable platenframein operative position. Coil springs 18 tendvto rock the shaft 16 in suchdirection as to throw the hooks 17 over pins 19 95 on the side plates 12of the swinging frame, and automatically to lock the swinging frame, asthe latter comes to rest upon the shaft 16.

An extension 20 on the left-hand hook 100 17 serves as a finger-piece,whereby to rock the hooks and 4sha-ft 16 backward to unlock the frame-12 when the latter is to be lifted to carbon-releasing position. Theframe 12 carries a knife 21 for severing the typewrit- 105 ten leadingform sections .of the web plies; after the carbons have been withdrawntherefrom. The 'frame 12 also carries a table 22 over which the leadingform sections of the web are fed; and the table 22 110 usual front andrear pressure rolls 26 and 120 27, respectively. Brackets l28 on theside plates 14 of the carriage support a rod 2S) to which are adjustablysecured guidepieces 30 for the side margins of the webs. The webs areled from thelcarbon-carrier,

between the side gages 30, over and around the shaft16 down totheplaten, as shown in Figure 2. The platen-carriage is supported formovement in letter feed and return directions on a rail 31 on the mainframe 32 1 of the machine. The machine in its entirety is supported on asupportingy stand 33.l

The carbon-carrier supporting structure is a substantially rectangularframe, the front cross-piece 34 of which is fixed to and supported bybrackets 35 on a bar 36, which forms part of the platen-carriage andconnects the side plates of the latter. Depending froml the side reaches37 of the carbon-carrier supporting struct-ure are brackets 38 on whichare journaled rollers 39, by means of which the carbon-carriersupportingstructure is carried at its rear on a rail 40 for movementwith the platencarriage in letter. feed and return directions. The rail40 is carried by standards 41, preferablyconnected to the main frame ofthe typewriting machine, and, like the latter, supported on the top ofthe typewritersupporting stand 33.

Rails 42, extending lengthwise of the side reaches 37 of thecarbon-carrier .supporting structure, provide a runway on which thecarbon-carrier is movable, with the carbone, forward step by step as theplaten has its line-space movements, and on which the carbon-carrier maybe `thrown rearward a predetermined distance to withdraw the carbonsfrom the leading -form sections of the web after typing on such sectionshas been completed and the platen-frame thrown to car on-releasingposition. The carbon-carrier comprises a plate 43, see Figures 1, 2 and7, yhaving journaled on the under sidethereof rollers 44. which aregrooved to receive the rails 42 and guide the carrier therealong. An arm45 secured by screws 46 to the left-hand side of the carrier-plate 43extends forward and terminates in a nger-piece 47 by means ofwhich theoperator may throw back the carrier to shift the carbons along theweb.Thus far the structure described is not substantially different fromthat shown in United States Letters Patent to Wernery and Smith, No.

` 1,132,055, dated March 16, 1915, to which reference may be made for afuller, ormore detailed. understanding of the operations abovementioned.

The carbon-carrier of the present invention comprises standards 48 and49 secured by screws 50 to the top of the carrier-plate 43. .Thecarbons, in the form lof endless Sheets 51", 51b and 51, are containedin magazines or wound on k,spools 52 having axles 53 journaled, onehorizontally ahead of the other, in the standards 48 and 49. Thebearings for the axles 53 in the standard 48 may be mere holes 54 intowhich one end of the axles are inserted.` `In the standard 49,' slots55, extending in from lthe periphery thereof, are provided to receivethe other end of the axles 53 after the first end thereof has beenpositioned in the standard 48. Hooks 56 pivoted on the standard 49l areadapted hold the axles and rolls in place. As shown in Figure 2, thecarbon-sheets are preferably led off the under faces of the rolls, andan idler 57, journaled in arms 58 at the forward ends of the standards48 and 49, may be employed to guide one or more of the carbon sheetsfrom the level of the lower faces of the'rolls to the levels at whichthe carbonsheets are fed forward to the platen-frame.

It will` be understood that at the linefeed movements of the platen, thecarbonsheets are not unwound from the rolls. The line-feedmovement ofthe platen. as hercinafter explained, results in the advance of thecarbon-carrier along its supporting runway. A sufficient length ofcarbon-sheet having been drawn from its roll, the rollcarrying means islocked against rotary movement. It is only when the length ofcarbon-sheetin use has become worn, that the roll isreleased to rotationto draw off a fresh len h therefrom. For holding the rolls norma lylocked against rotation, each roll has fixed to one end of its axle,shown in the drawings as its right-handvend, agistar wheel 59. The teethof all of thejfsftar wheels are arranged to be enga-ged and: lockedbyteeth 60 on a bar 61, carried' on arms v62, pivoted at 63 to standards64 secured by screws 65 to the carrier-plate 43. The arms 62 may beswung upward on the axis 63 with the bar 61 to lock the axles andcarbonrolls against rotation, and may be swung down to release the axlesand rolls when desired. Y

. For thus swinging the lock-bar up and down, an eccentric 66 isprovided. This eccentric is carried by an arm 67 pivoted at 68to astandard 69, see Figure 7, also secured tothe carrier-plate 43. Theeccen, p

tric 66 is set into a yoke or bifurcation formed, in part, bythelock-bar carryingortion of'one of the arms 62 and, in part, y a prong orbranch arm 70 therefrom. The normal or roll-locking position of the veccentric arm 67 is determined by contact of a finger 71 thereon withthe upper surface of the carrier-plate 43,'a`s shown in Figure 7. When,however, by means of a finger-piece 72 on the end of the eccentric arm`the latter is lifted, the eccentric, by turning down upon the branch 70of the yoke, presses. the lockbar away from the rolls.' When thefingerpiece 72 is moved in the opposite direction,

- the eccentric,- by pressing up upon the upper rearward of thetypewriting machine, and forward of the runway 42 for the carboncarrier.In the drawings (see Figure 5),

there are two web-rolls at each side of the stand. It will be understoodthat the web from each roll is to constitute one ply of a multiple web,between the plies of which the carbons from the carbon-.supply-rolls 52are fed to the platen. The plies 7 6, 7 6b, 7 6c and 76d from the rolls75 are, therefore, led into superposed position, as presently to bedescribed.' The spools 77, which carry the rolls 75, are journaled inbrackets 78 on aV bracket 78; after which a hook 82, pivoted to thecorresponding bracket at 83, is swungA down over the rear end of thespool-axle, to retain the s ool in its bearings.

The holder or the work-web supply-rolls comprises uprights 84 and 85, atopposite sides of the stand or support 33; to which uprights thebrackets 78 are secured. The front and rear uprights, at each side ofthe holder, are braced and connected by tierods 87. At the front andrear ends of the tie-rods 87 are lugs 88, offset laterally, and slottedat 89, to be set onto rods 90, which form art of the stand 33, and whichconnect the rear legs 91 of the stand with the front legs thereof (notshown). The upper ends of the u rights 84 and 85 are secured by screws92, t readed into bosses 93, formed on the edges of the top 94 of thestand 33. When, therefore, the screws 92 are loosened, and the work-webroll-holder lifted to clear the lugs 88 of the rods 90, the roll-holderwith the rolls may, as a unit, be tilted and withdrawn laterally, ineither direction, from the supporting stand.

The webs, at either side of the stand, are led upward from the roll 75,over an idler 95, journaled in brackets 96, secured to the u rights 84and 85 of the roll-holder. Tience the webs are led upward and overidlers 97 on the sides of an assembling or gathering device, whichinterleaves the carbons with -the work-webs and guides them so assembledto the platen (see Figures 5, 6 and 1). The idlers 97, one at each sideof the gathering device, are journaled in brackets 98, secured by screws99 to the side reaches 37 of the carbon-carrier-supporting structure. Asthe carbon-carrier'-supporting structure is connected to theplaten-carriage, to have movement therewith, in letter-feed and returndirections, on the rail 40, it and the gathering device mounted thereonandv line position of Figure 5.

traveling with it will in one extreme position of the platen assume thefull-line position of Fi ure 5, and in the other extreme position of theplaten assume the dotted- When in fullline, Figure 5 position, theweb-plies at the left-hand side will be slack, and, when in dotted-line,Figure 5 position, the web-plies at the right-hand side will be slack.To control this slack, there are, journaled on `the brackets 96 of theroll-holder 79, idlers 100 opposed to the idlers 95. The webs are ledfrom the rolls between the idlers 95 and 100. The idlers 95 are pressedagainst the idlers 100 by means of leaf-springs 101, the ends of whichare set in between ears 102 on the front and rear brackets 96 and theextended axles 103 of the idlers 95. The

axles 103 are set into horizontal slots 104 inthe brackets 96, so thatthe springs 101 may have the action indicated, and so that the idlers 95and 100 may be forced apart, to permit the webs to be easily threadedtherebetween. When the platen-carriage and the assembling and gatherindevice are sufliciently far to the right or le of center, on eithersid/e, the web-plies on that side hang 1n a loop 105, supported by thecorreslponding idler 100.

fter leaving thev idlers 97 at the sides of the gathering device, theweb-plies must be spread apart for interleavement therewith of thecarbons from the carbon-rolls 52, and must be turned forward at rightangles for passage to the platen. For this purpose, a series ofobliquely-disposed turning bars 106, numberedI also, respectively, 106",106", 106c and 1061, are provided. The bars 106a and 106, which turn andguide the web-plies 76a and 76, from the righthand side ofthe table,extend .obliquely from the forward left-hand side of the gatheringdevice to the rear right-hand side thereof, and the turnin bars 106b and1061, which turn and uide t e weblies 7 6b and 76d; from the le t-handside o the gathering device, extend obli uely from the forwardright-hand side o the athering device to the rear left-hand si ethereof, as shown in Figure 1. Each turning bar, at the rear endthereof, has a bayonet-jointslot 107, by means of which, asshown inFigures 1 and 6, it is set onto a pin 108, forming an upward extensionof a post 109 on the corresponding side reach 37 of thecarbon-carrier-supporting structure. The forward end of each turning baris slotted at 1 10, axially thereof, to be set into grooves orrestricted necks in a corresponding ost 111 on the corresponding sidereach 3 of the carbon-carrier-supporting structure. The grooves in thepost 111 are spaced apart the distances at which it is desired to holdthe turning bars spacedfrom one another. With the turning bar loose, thework-web incasso i ply, therefore, is passed thereover, and then turnedforwardly thereunder. The lowermost bar 106, with the web thereon, isset upon the shoulder formed by the pinextension 108 on the right-handrear post 109, and the bar is moved laterally to cause the pin 108 to bereceived into the throat of the bayonet-joint-slot 107. The bar is thenswung angularly, around the pin 108, until the slot 110 in the forwardend thereof is in alignment with the axis of the forward left-hand post111. The bar, being then level with the lowermost groove in this forwardpost, is given a translatory movement forward, to cause the post-111 tobe received in the slot 110, and to cause the pin 108 to pass to the endof the axiallydirected portion of the bayonet-joint-slot at the rear ofthe bar. The next turning bar 1061 with the web-ply folded thereover, isthen set upon the left-hand post 109 and right-hand post 111 in the samemanner; the shoulder formed by the extension 108 on the left-hand post109 being higher than the corresponding lshoulder on the right-handA -1post 109, to effect the'proper spacing of the bar.y 1061 from the bar1061. The bar 106C is then set on the left-hand post 111 and theright-hand post 109; a collar or washer 112being slipped over the pin108 on the right-hand post 109, to maintain proper spacing of the bar106c from the bar 1061. The bar 106d is then set on the lefthand post109 and the right-hand post 111, with the spacing /collar or washer 112on the left-hand `pin 108 to space the bar 106d from "the bar' 106C.When the bars are all in place and have been pulled forward as far asthe bayonet-joint-slots 107 will allow, a thumb-nut 113, threaded on theupper end `of each pin 108, is tightened to clamp the bars againstdisplacement.

It will be noted from4 the from Figure 6, that the web-plies 7 6a, 761,76c and 76d, on leaving lthe idlers-97, are passed to die'rentelevations, so that the carbons may be received between the same. If theweb-plies were led directly from the idlers 97 to the turning bars 106,they would l' pass to the latter at different angles, and

would, consequently, be made tovbear upon the carbon-sheets, whichlatter are all horizontally directed.` In so fouling the carbonsheets,thev forward feed movement of both the carbon-sheets and the work-websand the rearward withdrawal of the carbonsheets to succeedinform-sections would be interfered with.. onsequently, instead of leadingthe web-plies directly fromV the idlers to the oblique turning bars,they are first led over guide-bars 114, each of which extends,horizontally, from rear to front, on the level vwith the turning bar forthe web which it is to guide. For simplicity, each guide-bar 114, asshown lin Figure l, is

foregoing, and

formed as a'unit with the corresponding turning bar 106. The guide-bars114 connect at their rear with the turning bars, and at their forwardends are free. The free ends of the guide-barsare supported in thefollowing manner.- The lowermost guidebar 114, at its forward end (seeFigures 1k and 6), rests upon the upper end of a stud 115, threaded intoa lug 116 on the righthand side reach 37 of thecarbon-carrier-supporting structure. The forward free end of the nexthigher guide-bar 114 rests `upon a stud 117 on and near the frontend ofthe turning bar 1061*. Studs 118 and 119 (see Figure 6), on and near thefi'ont ends of the turnin bars 1061J and 106, support the-forward reeends of the two higher guidebars 114. To guide the carbons 51a, 5111 and51, from the rear of the machine, in a similar way, there are providedguide-bars 1141a extending from the turning bars 4106, and resting onstuds 1141 of the oppositelydisposed turning bars 106.

' Guides or gages 120 are provided for the side edges of the websbetween the idlers 97 and the guide-bars 114. l These guides 120 areshown as fingers (see Figures l, 2 and 6), projecting'upward from sildes121 on the side reaches 37 of the carbon-carriersupporting structure.Slides, instead of liXed brackets, are provided, in order that theguides 120 may be adjusted to accommodate webs of different widths..Thumbscrews 122, passing through horizontal slots 123 in the slides, inpart support the slides, and serve, when tightened, to hold the slidesin adjusted position. Pins 124 on the side reaches 37 project into theslots 123, to prevent angular displacement of the slides andguide-fingers.

In interleaving the carbons with the workweb plies, and in adjusting the4work-web plies and carbonspreliminary to typewriting, the lowerwork-web is threaded from its roll 75 or magazine, over its obliqueturning bar 106, and the leading end thereof led forward of the turningbar in the manner hereinbefore described. The rearmostcarbon-carrier-spool 52 being unlocked, the sheet therefrom 1s drawnforward over the leading end of the lowermost web. The web 7 61 is thensuperposedon thislowermost carbon-sheet, and the carbon from thecentralcarbon-roll drawn forward thereover.. The work-web 7 6c is thenpositioned over the middle carbon, and the carbon from the forward roll52 led thereover. After the upper work-web has been positioned over theupper carbon, and all the carbondraw the leading ends of the carbonsslightlyv rearward of the leading ends of the workwebs, so that,"insubsequent operation, the

- printing surfaces, and the worn length of the carbons detached.

It will be noted, from the foregoing, that the position of the work-websupply-rolls is Such that the plies thereof do not pass over, around orbetween the carbon-supply rolls, and that, consequently, the latter maybe of such size as not to require constant replacement. It will also benoted. that the arrangement and feed of the work-web-rolls and plies issuch that the carbon-rolls may be set substantially horizontally andtransversely, and at the same level on the carbon-7 carrier, within thelines delined -by the sides ofthe work-web in the forward movement ofthe latter to the platen. Thus, noglateral extension of thecarbon-carrier, or of the carbon-carrier-supporting structure, is re-`flllired, such as would add to the weight t ere'of, and, consequently,throw such a' burden on the platen-carria e and carboncarriage-drive asto make t is drive sluggish or unreliable in action.

It will be further noted that .the carboncarrier and carbon-rolls arearranged substantially unitary with the typewriting machine. 'That is tosay, they are mounted directly thereon, They are carried by and movewith a moving element of the apparatus. They maintain a fixed relationof alignment to this carrying element of the appa- L ratus, to theWork-web, and the elements upon which the work-web is carried and bywhich it is controlled. This method `of mounting the carbon-rollspermits the car bon-sheets drawn therefrom to be led into interleavementwith the work-webs in a di- .rect substantially straight line and inplanesl substantially parallel to each other and to the planes of thework-webs, after the latter are directed toward the platen. For thisreason, since, in the-typing orother operationof the machine, no turninor other undesirable change of direction o travel of the Acarbon-sheets1s necessary, the strain upon .these sheets and the risk that they willthereby become torn or displaced is reduced t0 a Consequently, thecarbon turned.

sheets may be made of extremely thin and delicate texture, and therebyeffect an added eiiiciency in the apparatus. It will be noted that inthe present arrangement it is the work-web, and not the carbon-web,which is led laterally onto the assembling or gathering device, andthere obliquely turned and directed over turning bars toward the platen.It is during this operation of directing the work-web' over the obliqueturning bars, that the web, being turned, might become torn; and hence,sincethe work-web is usually of heavier and coarser texture than thecarbon-web, the probability of its being torn in such an operation ismuc less than if it were the carbon thus being It must be evident fromthe above that the arrangementA and relation of carbon to work-webprovided in this apparatus is a distinct advance in the art, whichembodies substantial advantages in this respect. Also, theinterleavement of the carbon-web with-the work-web as accomplished inthis apparatus reduces the possibility of improper registry of thework-webs and of any undesirable markin of the work-web by thecarbon-web, which t(lieretofore, at times, resulted from the weavingaction -of the carbon-web because .of its passage throu h thecarbon-carrier from a source of supp y entirely outside of the machine.l
